God, how embarrassing. Nyx gets waylaid by a perfect beam of sunlight on his way to somewhere else and cutting through the gardens and...surely no one is going to notice if he just...stops for a five minute nap....
Poor Nyx when he first gets to Insomnia tho. It's so loud. There are approximately five million more people than he was used to at home and there's no dirt under his proverbial claws. Just gleaming metal and cold smells and all. the. goddamn. people.
He's still shell shocked from the attack and can't process. Probably on something to keep him calm those first few days anyway just as a result of being a survivor to begin with. And it helps at first. But when it wears off and he's fine and started on the various hoops to jump through for citizenship and military training and all that it's just overwhelming
Headbutts and refusal to move when comfortable and the undeniable urge to swat at anything that wiggles in his peripheral vision. All the worst best cat habits

omg she's so cute??? He'd plop next to her and cheekrub at her shoulders when it's quiet. Or tug her into his arms and just purr relentlessly until she relaxes from whatever stress she built that day
Man, those uniform jackets are a bit of a godsend when they're out deployed on them full moon nights and get to hide partial shifts with those tight af clothes.
kitsheadcanon: galahdin coeurls are the meowing type of bigcatto do with as she pleasesbeware of light sleeping with casual naps, but please imagine the disturbed cat noises Nyx could make when touchedAlso me: But what if just giant dumb cat though.
